    e-bike rollercoaster. What's next?

    Someone earlier in this thread mentioned Evelo bikes. I just got my Omega from Evelo and wanted to this bike would probably meet your requirements, at least most of them. It has belt drive with an Enviolo CVT hub. It also comes with Enviolo's Auotmatiq which shifts gears for you automatically...

    Mounting an Abus Frame Lock?

    I used a 5750 Shield Plus. I can't find the invoice so I don't know the exact model number. My tires were 2.4" wide and I have plenty of clearance.

    Mid Drive Bike Suggestions

    I failed to mention that the Evelo Omega doesn't have the front suspension. I asked sales about it not having a front fork with suspension and they said with the bigger tires, I wouldn't notice. But I'm still concerned so I'm going to put a RedShift suspension stem on it. That with a suspension...

    Mid Drive Bike Suggestions

    I live in the piedmont of NC but spend a lot of time in Blowing Rock so I know what you're wanting. I currently have a Ride1Up Lmt'd which is a hub drive but it does pretty good. But it's a high step and I've got to get a step through. So I've been looking for a new bike. It looks like I'm going...

    Priority Bicycles just launched the most affordable Gates belt mid-drive e-bike

    The only thing I have against the Rize RX is it's not a step through. Again, I'm 69 and while I can still mount my current bike which is a high step, I don't know how much longer I'll be able to. The other thing I didn't mention is we spend a rather large amount of time in Blowing Rock, NC which...

    Priority Bicycles just launched the most affordable Gates belt mid-drive e-bike

    I'm getting ready to order a new ebike. I've narrowed it down to the Current or the Rize RX. I really want the Current but I also really want a throttle. I just turned 69 and have arthritic knees. So sometimes after I've ridden too far (enjoying the ride too much), I need the throttle to make my...

    Abus Cafe Lock Advice for WattWagon Ultimate Commuter Pro

    Sorry for the delay in responding but just saw your post. I mounted an Abus frame lock to my Ride1Up Lmt'd using hose clamps. Drilled a hole through the hose clamp so that the tightening nut would be to the outside. I got a fender washer and bent it to radius of the frame using a pipe the same...

    Need help with mounting an ABUS Shield Plus 5750 NR Frame Lock (cafe lock) to Trek Allant+ 7S (Stagger Frame)

    I mounted an Abus frame lock to my Ride1Up Lmt'd using hose clamps. Drilled a hole through the hose clamp so that the tightening nut would be to the outside. I got a fender washer and bent it to radius of the frame using a pipe the same size (used a ball peen hammer to bend it). I put three...

    Mounting an Abus Frame Lock?

    I tried to take picture to show how I did it but it was hard to see. Basically what I did was to drill a hole through the hose clamp where the nut to tighten it would be available on the side. I got a fender washer (a bigger than normal washer) and bent it around a piece of pipe so that it's...

    Mounting an Abus Frame Lock?

    I mounted an Abus lock to my Ride1Up Limt'd. I tried to use the adaptor straps but they just didn't work. So I used hose clamps. Worked out great. I wrapped three layers of electrical tape around the frame to keep from scratching the paint. Once I had the lock mounted, I used Plasti Dip...

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    RicS, sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. My Lmt'd has an updated controller so I guess that makes it a Gen 2. I was experiencing the error 21 problem so Ride1Up sent me a new controller. Fixed my problem and now I've got a great bike. My walk speed is probably more like 4mph. I don't have...

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    Actually, the Lmt'd (at least my Lmt'd) does have a walk assist feature. I have a Yakama OnRamp rack and like it's name says, it has a ramp. I use the walk assist to get it up onto the rack. Press and hold the "-" key on the controller and it will move at 4 mph.

    What will you do for security?

    I finally got my frame lock mounted to my satisfaction. I bought the Abus 5750 XL lock which has a larger throat, fits over the tire with no problem. I had ordered the LH mounting straps but I must have mounted them indcorrectly because I could never get them tight enough. Then when I cut the...

    What will you do for security?

    Well, I decided to order a frame lock. The problem is I also decided to get the new Abus 5750 lock which has a larger throat which will fit the 2.4" tires on the Lmt'd. The second problem is I had to order it from a website from Great Britian, Bike24.com. I got the lock, a five foot chain that...

    What will you do for security?

    For those of you using a frame lock, which brand/model did you buy? Since my Lmt'd has 2.4" tires, it would seem as though I need a lock with a wider throat than what seems available in the US. Abus has a couple of models available with wide throats but the don't seem to be available here.

    LMT'D add ons discussion

    Here's what I added to my Lmt'd. It's what Mike N. linked in his post. I'm still playing around with placement of the attachments but I like what I have now. I moved the display to the center of the bike and I like that better. One thing you can't see in the picture is I added a bike alarm to...

    Finally got my Lmt'd but what's this part?

    I didn't have pedals nor reflectors when I opened the box. But the lady from the FedEx office called this morning and said one of their drivers brought in a set of pedals and a white reflector. So it looks like the only thing I'm missing is a red reflector.

    Finally got my Lmt'd but what's this part?

    I didn't get reflectors and I only had one small box that had the charger. I wonder what else I'm missing?

    Finally got my Lmt'd but what's this part?

    Received my Lmt'd yesterday. Had it delivered to the local FedEx office so they could document any problems. Box wasn't too bad, one upper corner had been taped up; one strap was missing but there was a lot of rattling coming from the box. The lady didn't like that I opened the box in her store...
